Short-Term Operating Reserve (STOR)
Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) is a service for the provision of additional active power from generation and/or demand reduction.
As part of the results and conclusions of National Grid’s reserve review conducted over 2005, Short Term Operating Reserve has been introduced as a replacement for Standing Reserve. All providers wishing to tender availability under this contract form now require a Framework Agreement in place.
For more detailed information on STOR please view the information in our Balancing Services Contracts Information Pack.
